Game 117 Tigers vs. pirates August 12, 2014

[kalinecountry]

I can't believe how many players on this team try to pull and chase so much shit way off the outside corner and pitches around their shins/ankles.
absolute shit shows with this team.

I blame Cabrera. He needs to step up. He's been missing for almost 2 months.

That's why one player can not carry a team!

 

[spockmaster]

No Kelly to PH there.

As much as Davis absolutely blows vs RHP and should never face one, he STILL has better numbers vs them than Kelly does because Kelly sucks gigantic whale dong.

You're right, he would surely help our offense right now.

I hear yeah... Hitting has been a yo yo all season.... Tigers are still first in the AL in a lot of categories as I showed which is weird...
But two different times the whole fucking team has gone in a funk at the same time.



1.Bad bull pen
2. weird hitting all season in stretches.
3. Fister trade. (lack of a decent return)
4. DD's bench and minor leagues,, and poor managing.

Kelly was running for nick

Not necessarily carry, but lead by example. Hit and other guys may hit. When their superstar is making poor contact and chasing all over the zone, so will other guys. When Cabrera started hitting in may/june, the team was doing well offensively.

 

[SpartyNash]

Hard to stay positive, this team is in fucking shambles

Kelly faster than Nick? You send Hunter up to PH and he's thinking hero homer so why do you need to pinch run with Kelly in the 1st place. This team is so miss manages at times!

Hitting has been bad this whole road trip.. Then we score 5 Toronto and blow it after blowing a 2-1 game the night before... Both loses are on the pen...

cant hit a lick in NY... score 6 last night and get bomb...

He's suddenly a singles and can on corn machine

cause Nick does not score on a double... Kelly probably does..
Seriously you wanted Kelly to hit for Davis :/

I know Davis has horrible numbers verses RHP but he is a better option then
Kelly there.

Kelly has only 4 or 5 extra base hits all season in 120+ plate appearances...
Davis is having a good season with RISP...

He's still one of the best on the team. You need more.

 

[biggunsbob]

Monroe and Tigermud are right... Our hitters are not making any adjustments as the game goes on... Especially on this 2-7 road trip..

I know, but his post seemed like Kelly PHing there was preferable to Davis hitting when its really, really not.

No and Kelly will not score on a double against Pittsburgh. They have good Defense/arm. I see/watch them as much as I see the Cards and way more than the I get to see the Tigers.

 

[biggunsbob]

10-3 A's in the 8th... could have been back I first.. :/

I was agreeing with you not lonesome on who should be batting..

 

[biggunsbob]

In my opinion this is on DD for not having a decent LHB to hit off the bench..
Kelly and Romine are both garbage..
Just another frustrating Tiger loss..
Maybe wed....

 

[biggunsbob]

And remember poor defense cost us 2 runs tonight also...

MC is not a third basemen and a good one gets the ball under his glove.
Big league center fielder and left fielders don't let corns of corn drop.
